【1996 Archives】

Every ardent fan of a TV show996 Archivesmovie will have certain qualms with what they're consuming. There's always a plot line, somewhere, which fans and critics can vehemently argue over. Sometimes it's the romantic decisions of characters; sometimes it's the glaring loose end; sometimes, it's the contentious finale.

So if you could erase any storyline from [insert piece of entertainment here], which would it be? Creator of many pop culture threads Tay (@moodsofaquarius) proposed this very question in a series of viral tweets last week.

The query is directed towards a range from shows, from 2000s female ensembles Sex and the Cityand Charmed, to Shonda Rhimes' phenomenons Scandaland Grey's Anatomy, all the way to soapy teen dramas Gossip Girland Riverdale. Needless to say, Twitter had many thoughts. Quote tweets for each show start in the hundreds and veer into the thousands, with the likes of Euphoria, The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, and How to Get Away with Murdergetting the most objections.

• Twitter asks: Are books just an aesthetic?
• 'Bridgerton' is so fun but they have to learn how to talk to each other
• Twitter asks: Is Starbucks food actually good?
• 'The White Lotus' Season 2 gives us the worst bro ever
• 'Hocus Pocus 2' owed a happy ending to one crucial character
